Arbitrium phages can manipulate each other's lysis - lysogeny decisions

Robyn Manley, R. Woodhams, Tom J. Arrowsmith, E. Smith, J. Bruce, Tim R. Blower, Ben Temperton, E.R. Westra

The paper shows that Arbitrium phages from different species can influence each other's lysis-lysogeny decisions through peptide-based communication, leading to fitness advantages and coevolution.

Lipopolysaccharide truncation and restoration drives a trade-off in resistance to two phages in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Ellie J. Tong, Luis M. Bolaños, Julie Fletcher, Robyn Manley, Christian Fitch, Christina Bugert, Jacob Sturgess, James W Sheffield, Rosie Allen, James Graham, N. J. Whitehead, Tom Ireland, Steven L. Porter, Ben Temperton

This study isolates a novel phage targeting the LPS inner core of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and shows that LPS modifications create a trade-off in resistance to two phages, suggesting that combining phages targeting different LPS regions can delay resistance.

Harnessing droplet microfluidics and morphology-based deep learning for the label-free study of polymicrobial-phage interactions

Anuj Tiwari, An Mei Daniels, Remy Chait, Robyn Manley, Fabrice Gielen

This study uses microfluidics and deep learning to analyze polymicrobial-phage interactions without labeling, showing phage effects on bacterial growth in co-cultures.
